About our hog roast for events in Busbridge
At a fête, fair or festival in Busbridge, a hog roast stall draws a crowd. We cook on site and carve to order, so visitors get hot food fast. For school fairs and sports days and small festivals, we can cook rotisserie chicken, a vegan burger or sausage and halloumi skewers and more.
Rural events near Busbridge can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast goes down well. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Space away from marquees, stalls and trees
- A level pitch with firm ground
- Room for a queue that does not block paths
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

For anyone arriving by train, the nearest station is Godalming station, about 1 mile north-west. Events in and around the Surrey Hills National Landscape, within about 7 miles of Busbridge, often have rules about cooking, vehicles and waste; we’ll follow the site’s requirements.

Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.

What else we do in Busbridge
The process
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Late-September events in Busbridge lose the light at about 7:05pm, so evening trading needs lights.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
